Paryse Martin, L’Ours, 7 x 2,6 x 2,6 inches, mixed media, Musée ambulant collection.

This child-eight exhibition embodies legend, storytelling aesthetics and hearsay. As they enter, visitors are greeted by Bruce, a bear perched on a chair, frozen in motion. The latter will guide young and old through a fantastic journey in which you are the hero. 

Vistors are invited to create their own story and use their imagination to discover what the art communicates and how each piece relates to one another. Here, there is no right answer, only clues of a quest whose outcome changes with each visit, according to the gaze of the one who lingers there. Let yourself be carried away on an adventure with Bruce and share your experience through words or drawings on the postcards available in the exhibition area.

See you under the big top on January 27th!
